well finally figured out what was wrong!

well if u guys remember i was having a few probs with geting my subaru to run right after a motor swap. well come to find out the only real prob i seemed to be having was i needed a new battery since the old 1 was so dead.

apparently if it is pretty much running just off the alt the carb will nto run right, and also it will make the motor knock, since i put in th enew battery it now runs nice and quiet, not even a lifter tick!

i am still lacking some power though, i think it might be off a little on the timing, i tried to advance the timing and it didnt make much of a difference, so i guess i gotta pull the timing cover off later on to make sure the timing is set right there. the 5spd dr 4wd works beautiful too already hit a cpl mud holes to scare the hell outta the wife lol, she hates it when i get the car sideways going up a hill lol.

now all i got left to do is rip off the cat and muffler and put my turbo 2 muffler on it, and get that damn dead mouse outta my heating system(god that thing stinks when i turn on the heat lol!!!!

That's good to hear! Hopefully someday your wife will learn that mun is fun and driving sideways is even better.

maybe she will i think she is still nervious from my last mud runner i had lol it was an 89 chevy astro with a 5 inch lift on it and i almost flipped that 1 a cpl times so i guess she figures im gonna do it to this car even though its much closer to the ground right now. decided to wash it yesterday to get the mildew off the side from it sitting for almst a year and when i pulled back in to pick up the wife from work the ppl that owned the car said "dont u know subbies run better dirty" lol
